Hi all

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,
using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

Thanks,

Hello,

Try this (http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotDetermineServerName) out, might help. Just be carefull about what file you should use, I'm not sure if it's httpd.conf or apache2.conf.

Does it help?

Regards,

problem solved
I remembered about this good material
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP



$ echo "ServerName localhost" | sudo tee /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2 [ OK ]
:D

Thanks again for helping,
Cristian

Hrm ...

I'd try update-rc.d <name_of_the_serivce> defaults or something like that. If I'm not mistaken the name of the service is apache2 ...

:D

ya... I've tried this:

sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults

and now is starting perfect

Thanks Helgman, you saved my day.

I don't now what is happening but after second reboot apache will not start anymore...
so, I've reinstall apache 2 and all dependencies and... I have the same problem
apache will not start after the second restart of the system and I have to start it manually

:-#

I don't now what to say more

after siting disappointed in my chair ... I've had new idea
how about to force setting symlinks to default
so:
sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 defaults


And now seems to work, how it should be working.

Ah,

When you mention the -f I do remember it. Sorry for the (hopefully) temporary memory laps. Glad you figured it out!
